I recently recieved a licence to V-Carve.
While I havnt yet cut anything with it, I must say the interface and ease of use is very impressive. This is great software for beginners and experienced CNCers
I love the way you can view your work in 3D b4 you've cut anything, and also the selection of timbers. You can even do a tool path simulation ( Great for those who dont yet have a router but want to pretend to cut something )

I will post some cuts I make with it in the next week.
